Re: [tor-relays] Consensus weight fraction dropping

[James Murphy <james.murphy.debian@xxxxxxxxx>]

I too am experiencing a recent and significant drop in bandwidth, and
have previously had problems gaining and losing the guard flag
repeatedly (though not recently).

I wonder if these issues are somehow connected, or if there is some kind
of new attack/exploit that decreases relay consensus to allow e.g. a
Sybil attack to be more viable.
